A First Year Experience (FYE) is a program designed to foster a successful transition to the college environment through programs that create meaningful academic connections and build a community of support for new students.
The FYE program seeks to create space for students to define how they will engage, learn, and thrive at MCC through a series of FYE workshops, online activities, and elective events offered throughout the semester. Check the campus contact information below if you have additional questions.
